Most are 6 month and will reward me with about 3% if I keep them until early 2023. I will definitely keep what I need for income taxes April 15, 2023 in T-bills.

My conundrum now is are we in a bear market rally?
I believe all info is factored into current market pricing. As a result I think that the odds of a recession are in current pricing.

From my economic and grad school days always taught that 2 negative GNP quarters in a row indicate we are in a recession and believe we are in one now.

Having said this and with market increase in July thinking that I will shortly invest additional funds into the mutual funds I favor
